Hello I've used FF for many years and I really like it, but I am having a problem that if I can't fix will mean I will have to migrate to a different browser.

For some time now, I can't get paypal to work when I am trying to pay for something. So, If I am trying to buy, say, a pair of trousers from Bigman.co.uk, I get to the payment page and select paypal. The screen then goes blank and is replaced by the Paypal loading blue circle that rotates round and round ... and never stops.

I can visit the same site with eg Chrome and the paypal link works fine.

I can log in to paypal from Firefox directly, but not from another site where I am trying to buy something. Any ideas on how I can fix this please?

Many thanks in anticipation..... Sam

A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Troubleshoot(Safe) Mode (not Refresh). Is the problem still there?
